Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BY HOWARD E. sLAGENHAUP.


America, my native land,
Where Liberty hath ta'en her stand,
And stretches forth her guiding hand
To rule nation great aud free,
And which forever thus will be;
My native land, to thee / sing,
To thee my Offering bring
ofpraises to thy glorious name,
Thy unsurpassed and endless fame;
On thee may peace her blessings shed
Forever nor again be led
To cruel war and bloody strife,
To waste thy strength and sap thy life;
Upon thy sons may freedom rest
Forever, and, with plenty blest,
Still greater shall thy greatness be,
country ofthe brave and free;
Although thou now art all serene,
Yet fearful struggles hast thou seen,
When civil strife arose to rend
Asunder thee, and forth to send
Destruction through thy wide domain,
When states insurgent strove in vain
To break the ties that long had bound
Together North and South, and found
A rival nation; but they failed,
For truth and right at last prevailed
And North and South again are one,
And Freedom has again begun
Her endless reign; in cordial grasp
Men now the hand of friendship clasp,
Who once in deadly strife engaged,
When murderous battle madly ragged,
And covered DER the fearful plain
With thousands of the bravest, slain
Their country's safety to maintain.
There dwelt in a Virginian vale,
Ere rose rebellion but to fail,
Young Robert Lorn; his lands were wide,
And greatest wealth was his beside;
A noble youth whose lofty heart
From virtue never did depart;
Great was his wealth, but from his door
Were never giftless turned the poor,
But hospitality he gave
Unto the meanest; all could have
Ofwhat he had goodly share,
For in his gifts he was not spare;
And far around his name was KNOWN
His goodness to the needy shown.
And all alike his praises spake,
And all alike would, for his sake,
Have risked their lives had there been need'
And they would go where he would lead
But long the nation had been blest
With prospecting peace and quiet rest,
And arms had long been laid aside,
And peaceful arts had long been Piled
With Joyful eye the people viewed
The wealth that fast to them accrued;
And Robert Lorn had reason sound
To thankful be, for he had found
Success unbroken, and the sound
OfYar, within Virginia's bound,
Had not been heard since British foe
AT Yorktown had been humbled low,
And where, despite their vaunting boast
Had Englands vast invading host
Destruction met, and Freedom first
The tyrants binding letters burst,
Arose and her protecting hand
Spread over this, her chosen land
But tempests now began to near,
And threatening storm-clouds to appear;
Discord within the nation rose,
And soon were multiplied her foes;
The breach, begun, soon wider grew,
Until to arms the country few.
And North and South were each arrayed
In hostile hosts; the South essayed.
Columbia, thee to overthrow
BY one well-aimed and vigorous blow,
Aud raised against their native land
Disloyal and rebellious hand;
Virginia Joined the Southern band,

ceded that II different plan must be
adopted for wlntering the cattle than
has been pursued in the past. In pur-
suance OF this policy the herds have
been made much smaller, and in many
instances provision has been made for
feeding the helpless cows. and precau-
iions have been taken against raising
